Arrhythmia questions and answers

Condition analysis:
When an arrhythmia is serious, urgent treatment may be required to restore a normal rhythm. This may include intravenous medications, electrical "shock" therapy (defibrillation or cardioversion), or implanting a temporary pacemaker to interrupt the arrhythmia.

Supraventricular arrhythmias may be treated with anti-arrhythmic drugs. However, most supraventricular arrhythmias can be treated and cured with radiofrequency ablation, eliminating the need for lifelong drug therapy.

Increasingly, most ventricular tachycardias are treated with an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD). As soon as arrhythmia begins, the ICD sends a shock to terminate it, or a burst of pacing activity to override it.

Bradycardias that cause symptoms can be treated by implanting a permanent pacemaker. Please see the web pages for more details on Cardiac arrythmias.

Instructions:
Onion and garlic: These two vegetables are used for treating the arrhythmia. Garlic is known as one of the best natural remedies for all kinds of diseases. In this period scientists are making many studies for the health benefits of the both vegetables and how are they helping for arrhythmia treatment.

N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC): N-Acetyl Cysteine is modified amino acid. There are many cases in which is shown that this amino acid can reduce the atrial fibrillation after the patients have made heart surgery.
